Be aware that the capture to disk function is not available in ReWire mode. If you need to record the GigaStudio tracks while in ReWire mode, use the rendering function of your DAW program instead of the Audio Capture Tool in GigaStudio. The GigaStudio capture tool is an option for recording your Giga tracks if you do not have a way of recording them otherwise. The audio capture tool has its own dockable tool bar. The capture tool bar can be hidden/shown be selecting the "Audio Capture Toolbar"option in the View menu. There are options available for the behavior of the capture tool in the Capture menu which you can specify with a mouse click. Auto Number Files will automatically number the captured wave files sequentially as they are recorded. Synchronize to MIDI will transfer the control of MIDI real time messages Start and Stop to the sequencer program. This is the same thing as clicking the audio capture tool record button. This is the same thing as clicking the stop button on the capture tool bar. Once you have set your capture options, use the tool bar button shortcut to open the Capture Tool click the capture button on the tool bar. This is a round red button similar to any other recording application or device. Before you begin a capture session, you must first arm at least one Output Master channel pair in the DSP Station, otherwise you will be presented with this friendly reminder: 137 To arm a track, switch to the DSP Station Output Master view and click on the REC buttons to arm as many channels as you want for capturing stereo tracks. As soon as a channel pair is armed, the REC button(s) will change from grey to dim red. This indicates the track is in record-ready status, but not yet recording. When the recording actually begins, the REC button(s) will become bright red to indicate that a recording is in progress. Before doing any actual recording, you will need to verify or perhaps make some settings adjustments with regard to the capture function as well as to your audio hardware settings. Go to the System Settings->Synthesizer dialog and define the bit depth of the captured waves. [. . . ] Launch the audio sequencer (DAW master ReWire application) and make sure your system is properly set up and connected (so that you can hear the audio output of GigaStudio routed from the DAW application). Typically you will find a dialog or menu listing all available ReWire channels, allowing you to activate any combination. The number of available ReWire channels depend on the applications and the supported ReWire version (ReWire 2 supports up to 256 channels while ReWire 1 supports up to 64). In the case of GigaStudio 3. 0, there are 64 ReWire channels available - that means you can get up to 64 separate audio channels from GigaStudio. [. . . ]
